Well, this is pure theory indeed. Who really has the time to dig into millions of lines of code to track down some exotic bug - let alone correct it, document it and share it with the community? What I do prefer, is a good support system for reporting bugs and getting in touch with the original developers. There is great open source software out there - but there is also great closed software out there. I really couldn't say that I prefer one over the other; I prefer quality...
